Line Blend: 178 or 185?

[Christy_H]

Hi guys,

I'm about 6/6"1 200lbs, gonna be spending most my time in the park, but still want to be something to have a lot of fun on the rest of the mountain. I'm torn between getting the 178s or the 185 Line Blends. Any advice/personal experience?

cheers

Line measures their skis short. go larger

Neither

178 4 slow 185 4 speed

185 for suuuure

Agreed. Who are all these people trying to ride tiny skis.

if I was 6'6" I would be looking for something longer than 185...

 

[doitbig]

185 or longer...

blends are soft skis and ski shorter. i would recommend something a little stiffer if you plan to ski outside the park

Cheers for the advice. After speaking to a few mates I ended up going for the arv 96. Everyone seems to rate them right now

excellent choice. that was on my list as well. love that it has no metal and is an all around ski that excels in the park and all mountain.

I picked up the soul rider to replace my slats. hopefully its similar and not too soft anymore now that they put carbon stringers in it.

Generally when it comes to skis and im in between sizes ill go with the longer length. So far I have yet to have a bad experience with this method.

Guys he is 6' or 6'1". Id go with 185 without a doubt. Blends are noodles.
